Spindle Piece
''Spindle Piece'' is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore. Unusually, the sculpture was made in four sizes: a plaster maquette cast in bronze as ''Maquette for Spindle Piece'' (LH 591) in 1968, a larger plaster working model which was also cast in bronze as ''Spindle Piece'' (LH 592) in 1968, a larger series of bronze sculptures ''Large Spindle Piece'' (LH 593) cast in 1974, and the largest model, known as ''The Spindle'', carved in travertine in 1981.
==Background==
The work is part of Moore's Spindle series of sculptures, which was exhibited in Hyde Park in London in 1968. The series was inspired by a detail of Michaelangelo's painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where God’s hand reaches towards Adam’s finger. The sculpture is an amorphous twisting flowing form, pierced by a hole, with a point bursting out from each side. The opposite points suggest the possibility of rotating the convoluted work. Moore said, "Sculpturally, (painting is ) two points just about to meet. This work is on the same theme, only the two fingers are going out, not in."
Moore also drew inspiration from a piece of flint, cast by Moore in clay, and drawings from 1938; and the work is related to his 1939 work ''Three Points'' (LH 211): Moore said, "Here again the points are used to give action: inwards in the case of the ''Three Points'', but here to give action outwards."〔(Three Points ), Tate Gallery〕 Another sculpture with a similar theme but with inward-facing points is his ''Oval with Points'' (LH 596).
